Great day at the park - Sarah was fantastic! We ended up being the only group on the tour, so we got picked up from our hotel. Sarah was very knowledgeable about everything and quite accommodating, especially with my young nephew. Would highly recommend this tour company!

Stunning Experience - It’s impossible to pick the single best part of the day—it was all perfect. We rode bikes through the park and spotted a herd of red deer. Then coffee in the sculpture garden, looking at the art, trees and flowers. But the amazing experience was seeing the large collection of van Gogh’s in relatively empty galleries, so that for the first time I was transported by the art. Unforgettable, as was Eva our guide. So grateful.

10/10 Would Go Again - This was one of my favorite outings of the trip! Eva was wonderful as a guide, making our time together fly by with great conversations. The museum was one of my favorites in the Netherlands, and the bike riding and nature viewing in the park was top notch. I would do this experience again- and would book any other excursion with Dutch Tours due to the thoughtfulness and how interesting the experience was. True local tourism at its finest!

Thank you for making this happen for me! - I had a fantastic time on this tour. I appreciated the central meeting spot close to Amsterdam Centraal Station. I was visiting Amsterdam from another country and didn't know the city very well outside the main tourist areas so this was easy for me to get to and was close to my hotel.
Eva was a terrific tour guide and she made it completely flexible for what we wanted to get out of the trip. On the day I went on the trip it was only myself and one other guest and she allowed us to tailor it to the specific activities we wanted to do. We started off visiting a lookout point and saw some deer grazing off in the distance. Binoculars were provided so that we could get a closer look. I appreciated that small detail.
My main focus after that was to visit the Kröller-Müller Museum to see the Vincent van Gogh paintings that they own. Several were bucket list items and I want to thank Eva and Dutch Tours for making it a reality that I could come to the national park and visit the museum and to have that moment. I traveled a very long distance to be there so thank you for making that happen for me, it means so much to me.
I spent most of my time in the Kröller-Müller Museum and honestly probably could have spent a few more hours there. It's beautiful, simple, and has an amazing collection of art. I unfortunately didn't have enough time to really explore the sculpture garden grounds but I still got a small taste of it. The other guest on the tour visited the museum as well for a short time and then met Eva to do a bicycle tour around different areas of the park. Again, our experiences were completely flexible to what we wanted to do once we were there. I really appreciated that aspect of the tour.
On our exit, we drove through more areas of the park to see more of it. It's a beautiful area and it was nice to get out of the city for a bit and see more of The Netherlands I would not have been able to otherwise. The three of us got along well and had a great time chatting on the drive back to the city. I'm very thankful Dutch Tours offered this small group tour to the national park and to the Kröller-Müller Museum. I would not have been able to visit it on my own, at least not very easily, so I'm so happy that they offered it and that it still happened even though it was only 2 of us that day.
Thank you Eva and Sarah!

More than the usual tourist experience. - Loved the personalised tour taking in the National Park itself, facts about the flora and fauna of the area, the wonderful Kroller Muller Museum and the informative background on Netherlands social-cultural situation. Thank you Sarah for the most interesting and relaxing tour. Highly recommended.

Not the most exciting tour... - The bike riding in the national park was the best. Getting there was a much longer ride than we anticipated. The tour guide provided a lot of interesting facts about Amsterdam. This was just an ok outing and the pick up location was difficult to find.
